In the next scene we see eli laying in bed thinking about something..when suddenly he receives a text from kiko "hey eli. i've been thinking about what i said since you got back from the hospital and i think maybe we should hang out more....i found out about a really beautiful lake on the outskirts of the city its not to far from our houses so i thought it would be perfect for us it could kind of be a date.." "thats a pretty good idea kiko sure.. its a date! :)" the scene shifts to a blushing kiko "h-he said date..." the scene switches back to eli who gets up and stretches "i should really...try and learn more about my powers i still dont even know how to use them on command!" he thinks to himself "maybe i could try...activating them by generating static electricity and using that i could practice harnessing it properly.." eli suddenly pauses realizing something "since when did i start...talking like that. its probably the effect of the increased intelligence from my powers...but i wonder...how much will it be amplified by my strength...but wait...what else can i even do?" eli goes outside and into his backyard he looks around and spots a medium sized but healthy looking tree. eli walks up to it and looks around to make sure nobodies looking. he clenches his fist and punches the tree with a solid punch. to eli's surprise it hurts SPECTACULARLY he holds his hand in pain "damnit!" but whatever damage that was done to his hand was quickly healed due to his healing he takes a deep breathe and clenches his fist once more.."please...work this time...im not even sure if i have super strength but sure to hell hope i do!" he punches the tree once again and it splinters into thousands of pieces as he punches a hole right through it eli chuckles and smiles widely at his discovery "Holy shit! yes! i have super strength!" as he says that he attempts to remove his hand from out of the tree but his hand his stuck and his super strength doesnt seem to be helping him at the moment "oh come on..dont do this..not now come one!" he holds his arm and attempts to pull his arm out again only for his hand to fly free but intern destroying the rest of the tree making it fall down towards him he reflexively puts his hands up and catches the tree with ease eli laughs in excitement as he throws the tree a fair distance away. "surely that doesnt hit anybody...." he thinks to himself "i should probably go back inside...and test out my other powers." eli smirks and heads inside and picks up the rug in the living room and carries it into his room to test out his electrical abilities. he sets the rug down on the floor infront of his bed and stretches a little as he prepares himself. "alright..here we go" he takes a deep breath. steps his sock covered feet down onto the rug and begins to rub his feet together on the rug to generate static electricity theres a faint buzz around him as the electricity starts to manifest around him "Alright im making progress! just a little more!" the electricity begins to crackle which is eli's que to stop "alright here I go" he holds his hands out toward the electricity and closes his eyes as he tries to focus on manipulating it. the electricity seems to almost resist him but eventually he starts to show some ounce of control over it as its slightly pulled toward him "yes...yes..yes! just a bit more!" as he says that he fully pulls the electricity towards him the electricity doesnt harm in anyway but instead feels a bit ticklish "looks like im immune to harm from electricity as expected." he continues to move the electricity around more to get used to it "its almost like...I can sense every single electron around me and bend it to my will" eli smirks as he says that and he opens his eyes to witness his powers. and he's fascinated by the beauty of it he smiles as he swirls the electricity around him as he compresses it into a sphere eli smirks as he gets an idea. he keeps the ball of electricity in his hand as he reaches for an empty can on his desk. he places it on the floor and steps back. he aims the ball of electricity towards the can..he takes a deep breath and fires. the electricity moves unpredictably but extremely fast and in the blink of an eye the can is obliterated "Holy shit! That actually worked!" eli exlaimed only for his excitement to be cut short by aunt grace "hun is everything alright up there?" this distraction causes eli to lose control of the ball of electricity causing it to disperse and dissapear "crap.." eli thinks to himself "uh yeah! everything is fine aunty!" i should really find somewhere more private to do this. eli side defeated. ending the scene there
